That "baseball card" movie starring Matthew Broderick
In a posting this week on baseball movie, someone mentioned the little known recent flick--it played in only 4 theaters and drew $20,000 total after screening at Sundance--"Diminished Capacity." Saw it last night. Yes, it's on Netflix. And yes, pretty weak. But does feature the attempted sale of what is clearly a t206 Piedmont Wildfire Schulte "back view," though Alan Alda says his Dad got it in a Superbas cigar box.
He is suffering from what seems to be Alzheimers and wants to sell card (which is supposed to be NM-MT maybe, but ungraded) so he can stay at home instead of ending up in a facility. He goes to Chicago with Broderick to sell card (he keeps it in his pocket) at a big card show (this is a few years ago) where he meets good and bad dealers. And so on. Your move.
